Scan Medical Insurance

Has anyone noticed that AARP favors the government health care package that would bankrupt our country?

While ObamaCare is under fire as unconstitutional and will have to have a Supreme Court Adjudication has anyone else noticed the outright greed displayed by AARP? The governing board of directors of AARP appear to have shown their hand as to how greedy they are to have medical health insurance coverage subsidized by Uncle Santa Clause; whom will have to fund it by having Elves run printing presses in the mint 24/7 if health coverage is none optional... Or am I wrong in this assessment? Has AARP hitched its star on the ObamaCare Bill in order to effectively drive up its health insurance profits by an estimated 34 percent all at the expense of already embattled taxpayers? Forget the invasivness to government expansion into the private sector. The impact on our economy will be awful since there is no money to fund it but the printing press. And an estimated 30% of doctors will quit practice rather than be micromanaged by a review panel as to what they can or cannot do for their individual patients. Am I the only senior that has noticed this? http://assets.aarp.org/rgcenter/ppi/health-care/i35-age-rating.pdf http://www.aarp.org/health/health-care-reform/news-12-2010/mandatory_health_insurance_now_law_s_central_villain.2.html

1. obviously AARP sold out! So now what? will WE THE PEOPLE get an opportunity to rectify the mess that ALL of the politicians since at least LBJ have been creating for us? This didn't happen over-night ... its been in the works for a LONG time and AMERICA is in deep do-do!
2. You are absolutely correct. AARP is counting on this bill too pass because it is less funds coming from their pockets, even though the government will make cuts to MEDICARE to fund Obamacare. What kills me is the fact that kool-aid drinkers are saying that Republicans want to kill grandma. It seems that the Democrats are in favor of killing grandma and babies.
3. You may be the only senior who thinks dying uncared for is preferable. I never will understand someone who gets to a certain age and wants to vote against their own interests. Its the ultimate in selfishness to want increasing profits for insurance companies at the expense of the older Americans. Doctors already have their practices micromanaged by insurance companies, you must be very healthy never to have stood there while the doctors offices checks on your coverage and what the insurance company will cover. And your only choice is to accept it or spend weeks challenging that through your state board of insurance. You are fighting a battle already lost anyway, we didn't get the public option, we got a useless sell out to the insurance companies that won't solve anything, the problem of affordability just got kicked down the road to the next president with the nerve to take it on. And in the meantime good Americans will die, because we don't value our citizens as much as other countries do theirs.
4. You are correct. I sent my AARP card back to them. I have no desire to be a part of them any longer.
5. Kind of ironic that they are jacking up costs to their own people by up to 13% 'because of 0bamacare'! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101104/ap_on_bi_ge/us_aarp_health_plan Serves the two-faced political a$$ kissers right.
